This is an index to the section of the Calendar of Deeds published by the
National Library of Wales in 1921 which relates to Glamorgan. The original
Deeds were purchased by the National Library of Wales from Mr James
Coleman.

The original Deeds are held at the National Library, but transcripts of them
are contained inthe Calendar, of which 500 copies were printed around 1921 (I
am luckily the owner of one of these 500 copies !)

The index which I have compiled so far covers the period up to 1699. It
includes all persons named in the Calendar, including witnesses, Attorneys
etc.

The index is alphabetical, by surname; where there are variant spellings of a
surname I have attempted to group these together, eg Bidder, Bydder; it would
still be wise, however, for anyone using the index to check variant spellings to be
on the safe side; where an occupation other than Gent or Yeoman is referred to I
have included it in brackets after the name eg Thomas, John (mercer); sinilarly,
where a relationship between persons indexed is given I have included this in
brackets eg Jones, Ann (wife of John Jones); the place name which follows the
personal name is that which is shown in the description of the person - it is not
necessarily the same as the place which the deed relates to (and there are a
number of places outside Glamorgan listed because the person concerned was
from outside the county, although also holding land or office in Glamorgan); the
date following the place name is the year of the Deed or the year which the Deed
reffers to; the DD number after the date is the Deed Reference Number; the
letters in brackets after the DD number are as follows:-

Bond = Bond

DP = Deed Poll

Est = Estreat

Exem = Exemplification

Grant = Grant

Ind = Indenture

Ind Mar = Indenture related to a marriage

LP = Letters Patent

Mand = Mandate

Memo = Memorandum

PA = Power of Attorney

Sched = Schedule

NB: Where a name is not followed by a place it is likely that the person listed
was a witness to the Deed eg Jones, William 1655 DD 990 (Ind) would suggest
that a William Jones was a witness to Deed No.990 (an Indenture) in
1655.
